Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Help me massage my legs

Watching Su Yumo’s earnest expression, Ye Xuan helplessly said, "You really don’t need to fan me anymore, actually, I’m not that hot, you saw it this afternoon."

What he said was the truth; his body had long been impervious to the cold and heat. After basking under the sun for so long in the afternoon, he hadn’t felt hot, so how could a bit of stove heat trouble him?

After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Su Yumo was stunned, then she remembered that Ye Xuan seemed to be not afraid of the heat at all. During the afternoon climb, she had been sweating buckets, but he hadn’t sweated a single drop, which left a deep impression on her!

"What a freak..."

Muttering to herself, Su Yumo’s expression became embarrassed, her hand hovering in mid-air, uncertain whether she should keep fanning Ye Xuan.

Seeing Su Yumo’s awkward look, Ye Xuan chuckled and pointed to his legs, saying, "If you really feel like there’s nothing to do, then help me massage my legs a bit. After climbing the mountain all afternoon, they’re quite sore."

Massage legs?

Looking at Ye Xuan’s teasing smile, Su Yumo was about to refuse. This guy was really pushing his luck, treating her like a servant?

But then she thought about it; Ye Xuan had trudged through the mountains and streams all afternoon to help Granny Li collect herbs, and he had also saved her life and treated her injuries.

Su Yumo’s heart softened, and she pouted, "Fine, I’ll massage your legs, but just this once!"

Hmm?

At these words, Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened. He had only said it casually and hadn’t expected her to actually agree. It was an unexpectedly pleasant outcome.

"Hehe, it’s rare to have the icy Yama Flower herself massage my legs. Seems like today is my lucky day!"

Ye Xuan chuckled inwardly at his good fortune; such a wonderful opportunity was not to be refused. He quickly stretched out a leg in front of Su Yumo.

Since she had agreed, Su Yumo moved her stool closer, firmly took up her fists without any shyness, and earnestly started to massage Ye Xuan’s legs.

"Ah, that feels so good. If only you could do this every day."

Ye Xuan wore a face full of enjoyment, calling out as contentedly as a pampered old master.

"You wish, next time I won’t be so kind-hearted."

Su Yumo huffed, her small hands rhythmically falling on Ye Xuan’s thighs.

But inside she muttered, it’s because you climbed the mountain all day and did well, that’s why I’m generously rewarding you! You think you can take advantage of me, expect massages every day? Why should I massage you, you’re not my... not anything to me, anyway!

Anyway... I’m not massaging your legs because I fancy you! At most, this is just a reward for your hard work! Yes, that’s it, a reward.

While Su Yumo massaged his legs, she quietly mumbled to herself, searching for reasons to justify her current actions.

However, as reasonable as this explanation was, her heart kept pounding non-stop!

It felt like she was desperately trying to hide something!

She wondered, what am I trying to hide? What do I have to conceal?

And... why do I have this feeling?

Oh! Su Yumo, stop thinking nonsense, this is just a simple reward, why are you making it so complicated...

She shook her head vigorously, casting out all these messy thoughts from her mind.

Her mind might have cleared, but her heart was still restless.

...

Cooking medicine is a delicate and slow task, requiring precise control of the heat and timing!

Under Ye Xuan’s meticulous care, the medicinal ingredients in the clay pot had been simmering for three hours, finally considered complete. By that time, it was already eleven o’clock at night.

"Haha, finally done."

Ye Xuan stood up, stretched his body, invigorated his spirit, extinguished the stove fire, and set the clay pot aside to cool.

"Eh? Ye Xuan, have you finished brewing the medicine?"

At that moment, Su Yumo walked into the kitchen, wearing a thin silk nightgown with wet hair draped over her shoulders, looking as if she had just taken a bath.

The sheer nightgown clung to her body, revealing a hint of what lay underneath and accentuating her enticing curves, which were quite thought-provoking!

Ye Xuan’s gaze lingered on the woman before him, and after a pause, he shifted his eyes to her unadorned face and replied, "Just finished, you came at just the right time."

"Mm, thank you for your effort."

Su Yumo nodded, offering Ye Xuan a soft, serene, and very beautiful smile.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be momentarily captivated; this woman’s smile was indeed enchanting, and even he almost couldn’t resist her charm.

"By the way, has Granny Li gone to sleep yet?"

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and asked.

Su Yumo shook her head, "Not yet, I told her to go to sleep for a while, but she insisted she wasn’t tired and wanted to wait until you were done brewing the medicine, so she is still waiting in her room now."

"Alright, I’ll pour out the medicine now and bring it over shortly."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan turned and took a white porcelain bowl from the cupboard and a soup spoon, scooping the brewed medicine from the pot into the bowl until it was nearly full.

Ten minutes later, when the medicine had cooled down, Ye Xuan carried the bowl with Su Yumo to Li Guilan’s room.

The door to the room was open, and after they knocked and entered,

"Ye Xuan, is the medicine ready?"

Li Guilan, who had been dozing off in the armchair, immediately perked up at the sight of Ye Xuan, wide awake now.

"Granny Li, the medicine is ready, please drink it."

Ye Xuan smiled, stepped forward, and handed the bowl of medicine to Li Guilan.

"Thank you, Ye Xuan."

Li Guilan took the bowl, thanked him with a smile, and began to drink.

After taking a sip, Ye Xuan noticed Li Guilan furrowing her brows and asked, "Granny Li, is the medicine very bitter? Should we add some sugar?"

"No need, a good medicine tastes bitter; this old lady can handle it."

Li Guilan bravely swallowed down the medicine, wiped her mouth, and continued drinking until the bowl was nearly empty after a few large gulps.

Releasing a long breath of hot air, Li Guilan set the bowl on a stool, looked up kindly at Ye Xuan, and said, "The medicine is bitter, but it’s warm in the stomach and very comfortable! Granny Li is really thankful to you, Ye Xuan."

"Granny Li, no need to be so formal with me."

Ye Xuan chuckled and casually waved his hand.

"Granny Li, your mouth must be bitter, here, have some sweet syrup."

At that point, Su Yumo brought over a bowl of rock sugar syrup and handed it to Li Guilan.

"Good, bitter yet sweet, that’s the flavor of life."

Li Guilan smiled, took the rock sugar syrup, and drank it heartily.

After Li Guilan finished the rock sugar syrup, Ye Xuan went back to the kitchen to fetch two more bowls of medicine, returning to the room to hand them to Wu Xiangyang and Su Yumo, respectively.

"You two also drink this medicine."
